Sandown bands supports Sandown & Shanklin Independent Lifeboat

The two choirs

Newchurch Male Voice Choir, with the Sea Gels Shanty Band, entertained a packed Sandown Christ Church with an evening of music to raise funds for Sandown & Shanklin Independent Lifeboat (SSIL).

The evening raised more than £600 for the voluntary service, based on the Bay Revetment, and included performances from soprano, Lucy Hinkley, and guest accompanist Cate Clark.

SSIL coxswain, Mark Birch, with crew members, attended the evening and thanked the choirs for a memorable evening and for raising the much-needed funds.
